Ben’s First Phrase
Yesterday we were watching Dancing with the Stars and Ben was playing with me on the couch. He was standing on the couch and slipped a little, almost falling. However, he caught himself before he fell. As soon as he righted himself, he cried, “Oh shiiiiiiiiiit!”
I thought to myself, “Did he just say what I thought he said?”
Dave gave me a look like, “Did he just say what I thought he said?” which confirmed what I had heard.
We busted out laughing, and didn’t even try asking him to repeat it. I doubt he meant to use it, he was probably just blabbering like he usually does. But he used it in the right context (well, maybe a couple seconds too late) so who knows? I know that he’s heard the phrase before (I won’t name any names.).
OK, I’m lying. He had said his first phrase the day before - “It’s showtime!”, a phrase that Elmo says in this musical Elmo book that Marilyn gave him. But the “Oh Sh-t!” makes for a much better post!
You gotta watch what you say around the little ones. They pick up EVERYTHING.
Ohhh Shhhiiitttt! *lol* Ben’s first phrase!!! I’m so excited for the little booger!!!!
pwahahahahahhahahah! we had that happen too! over the summer we were on our way to mykel’s parentss house. he borrowed his dad’s pressure washer to clean the deck and it was in the back of the truck. when we took a crazy S-turn it fell over and made a loud noise. all of a sudden we hear “oh shit” from the backseat!
we tried like hell not to laugh too hard. yep, now we always say “oh my gosh”, “oh crap” (which still isn’t great, but when you think of the alternative). kids are like parrots, and they always seem to pick up the bad stuff!
